The Babes in Toyland tent of the Sons of the Desert, Oasis 127, was "foundered" in April 1991: "Tall Oaks From Little Acorns Grow." We meet on the third Saturday of every other month from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. as follows: January, March, May, July, September and November. At the present time we meet at the Orlando Regional Medical Center in Classroom 102 where we have use of a video projection system. If there is a change of location, members will be notified.

Dues are $20.00 per household per calendar year and payable in January. Checks should be made out to Grand Sheik Gary Meiseles and will be collected at the January meeting. You can contact me by using the "email" button to the left.

Newsletter: Currently, a tent newsletter does not exist. However, each household MUST subscribe to the Intra-Tent Journal, the international, quarterly, newsletter from the "home" office. Subscription cost is $20.00 per year for four issues No true "Son" should be without!

Meeting Costs: Each member is asked to bring a snack and/or drink for everyone to share. Paper products (cups, plates, napkins) and ice will be provided by the Grand Sheik.
